This is the outer layer of the Sun that mystifies scientists in part because it is 100 times hotter than the star's actual surface. The X-Ray Telescope, or XRT, collects x-rays emitted from the Sun's corona. "Everything we thought we knew about x-ray images of the Sun is out of date." "It's going to put us in a whole new realm of understanding," Golub says. The scientists say they are surprised and delighted by the findings. "These images will open a new era of study on some of the Sun's processes that affect Earth, astronauts, orbiting satellites and the solar system."
"For the first time, we are now able to make out tiny granules of hot gas that rise and fall in the Sun's magnetised atmosphere," says Dr Dick Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophysics Division. The spacecraft, named Hinode after the Japanese word for sunrise, was launched in September with an array of instruments, each looking at a different layer of the Sun. "With the X-Ray Telescope, we can see them clearly for the first time." "Theorists suggested that twisted, tangled magnetic fields might exist," says Dr Leon Golub, senior astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. This process releases energy and may power solar storms and coronal mass ejections, which in turn affect the Earth.Ī turbulent magnetic field would, in theory, generate more energy than a steady-state field. The images show twisting plumes of gas rising from the Sun's corona and reacting with the star's magnetic field. X-ray images taken from a new international spacecraft show that the Sun's magnetic field is much more turbulent than scientists think, the US space agency reports.
For there is no happiness without a lack thereof, no confidence without vulnerability, and no trust, without paranoia. Originally, the album was to be ordered from darker concepts through to light, however it was later decided that to replicate the human mind accurately the concepts should be random and unpredictable. Written over the course of a pretty eclectic year of our mental health, it tracks the subject through swings of dark paranoia and self doubt, through to pure bliss, hope and trust.
Speaking about the album, Only Sun said: “Tangled mind is an album built around the concept of mental wellbeing. Sonically drawing on classic indie foundations but putting their own definitive spin on things, the four piece craft affecting, emotive cuts built for festival singalongs. Tangled Mind has been a long time coming for the High Wycombe quartet, who emerged onto the scene in 2017 with a string of acclaimed sold out shows and buzz in the capital, building a palpable sense of familiarity yet pioneering intrigue that travels seamlessly into their sound. Only Sun announce their debut album ‘Tangled Mind’, exclusively pressed to purple marble vinyl from Blood Records. Marbled purple vinyl with glitter infused vinyl.
